- I make potholders. (I piece and quilt them, just like
- cottons.) Wool has superior insulating qualities, so it makes
- GREAT potholders. (I do living history cooking, over fires,
- and these potholders are WONDERFUL for extreme conditions.)

- Of course, what the old lady down the street ( when I was a
- kid) did with her wool remnants was to sew them into long
- strips, fold over the edges, and braid them into rugs.
